See the code I posted here : https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/2242

There is also code for a similar function here : 
https://trac.cakephp.org/ticket/2306
and here :
http://groups.google.com/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/fbc9a90b2fbfa95b/303980c8ef01abea?lnk=gst&q=truncate&rnum=1#303980c8ef01abea

Bear in mind that both of these solutions require you to use xhtml -
if you had the following (valid) HTML it would not work

<p>bla bla
<p>woof woof
<ul>
<li>one
<li>two
</ul>
